thank you for joining us. don't forget to dvr the show if you cannot catch it live. we will see you back here tomorrow. lou: good evening, everybody, and thank you for joining us. north korea overnight moved missiles and launch components to the east coast in preparation for firing. dictator kim jong-un persistent in his threats of an all-out nuclear assault against the united states. the missiles have "considerable range" and could hit targets in japan and guam, both with u.s. military bases and facilities and thousands of our troops. state department spokesperson departed from her ambiguous

language and reminded that they are now in an extremely dangerous situation of their own creation and thus the actions they take from here on will assuredly have consequences. >> have got to come back in compliance of the obligation, the secretary has been clear if they make a different choice, we will respond. lou: the state department confirming china's role in trying to influence north korea to scale back the rhetoric and military positioning has been the subject of intense conversations between secure -- secretary of state and his counterpart. we will continue to document his trip to the far east next week. speakers will be central focus going to beijing to find out what more we can do to get the leadership to change course.

lou: will take up the thread and that the united states will step in preemptively with action. the state of connecticut has become the latest state to amend their arms. will our children be safe? wayne lapierre joins us with answers. and the state of texas is on full alert seeking those who married a texas exit attorney and his wife tonight. attorneys evangeline gomez and brian siber join us with an analysis. honow the continuing, escalating north korea nuclear threats against united states. we are joined by judith miller. i want to begin with a very simple question. the state department was as firm

and unambiguous as i have heard in recent memory. what is your judgment? >> our posture is to back away from what we have been doing for the past week since the provocations began. and to turn increasingly toward china and diplomacy and toward an ability to thwart miscalculation on north korea or south korea or japan. lou: is almost inconceivable we have not been working with the chinese government to try to suppress whatever instincts are grinding kim jong-un right now in these crazy threats against the united states. are you saying this is a recent development seeking their help? >> i'm seeing the open emphasis on the role of china is another desperate influence to what we still don't understand, which is what is motivating the young

leader and untried leader, and also where he is going with this. what are his intentions? lou: i've never talked with anyone in whom i have great faith they knew what motivations were of the north korean leadership or of its government. i have never talked with anyone who i felt knew what they were talking about with specific motivations on the part of north korea. we have gone through threat. we have trained the north koreans this behavior. how do we break that cycle? >> i think kim jong-un is breaking that cycle for us because his father was always very careful to calibrate his threats and another thing that strikes me is his father delivered these threats through

his aides, he rarely delivered them personally. the fact kim jong-un is so up front and personal but these are coming from him makes it harder for him to back down which is why so many people are so worried about what is going on there. lou: if he decides to do this, one thing that will be clear as we have made a disastrous decision to leave our 30,000 troops. it is irresponsible, deeply regrettable and i hope we can remove those troops before any harm comes to a single one of our troops. the second part of it is we're no longer in obligation anywhere in the world to expose our people in harm's way. we now have the ability to use unmanned aircraft, missiles, rockets, we have got to set aside the idea that we will put

our blood and treasure on the line for the rest of the world. we have to act multilaterally instead of unilaterally. it seems we have been drawn and again to a unilateral potential disaster. >> i think the potential for miscalculation also involves south korea and japan. the reason those troops are there is because what we don't want to have happen is south korea and japan decide they need their own nuclear deterrent to capture the north koreans. that was better 230,000 troops that we are there to defend them. you can make that choice, the price may be a new derived south korea. lou: it has been too many lives of our troops for not our natural interest.

the prime sponsor of the national ban of high-capacity magazines reveals a shocking lack of understanding on the issue in guns themselves and congresswoman was at a denver form answer a question of how limited the number of rounds in magazines would help reduce violence. this is her incredible answer. >> the people who have those now are going to shoot them and so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot in there will not be any more available. lou: if you understood one quip of that, you are amazing. magazines can be reloaded and reused hundreds of times, thousands of times. a spokeswoman said she misspoke. and was referring to clips, but

of course become his woman spokesperson was also mistaken because clips have nothing to do with it although they speak from magazines, of course. it limits the number of rounded magazine holds. joining us now is a man who knows all about magazines and clips including of course representatives from the house of representatives. the head man at the national rifle association, good to have you with us. i have got to ask you, what did you think of that unintelligible crazy answer? >> it is just another answer of so many people in this debate, politicians like that congresswoman, whether it is president obama, michael bloomberg, they simply don't know what they are talking about. that congresswoman didn't know the difference between magazines

and ammunition. the fact magazines hold ammunition and when you run out of ammunition commission reload the magazine. she had no idea, but the president was about there today blurring the distinction between thfully automatic and semi automatics. it is unbelievable. lou: the president saying the shooter in newtown, not simply saying automatic weapon, but a fully automatic weapon and there was nothing of the kind. connecticut passing the strongest antigun legislation in the country. first, your reaction to that and secondly do you think it will hold up? >> what they don't understand or could care less about were seems to not understand the point is gun control doesn't work because it requires the criminal's cooperation. all they're doing in connecticut is lining up all the good guys,

making the law books thicker, putting the massive paperwork and regulations into police resources on the honest people when the drug gangs and evil people and the criminals could care less in connecticut if it passed that law. lou: and this law calling for effectively regulation of various forms. there seems no announcement of a public debate trying to register guns, rifles, shotguns for almost 15 years, just short of $3 billion in that period of time and ended it because it didn't work and it was way too expensive and we have 10 times as many people as the canadiens, so what in the world are people thinking? >> they are not. it is mindless attempt to keep attacking the second amendment and not have an honest

conversation about what works. i have seen the pattern before though. they don't enforce existing gun laws, everything the criminals are doing is illegal, that has another gun law, tel so people they've done something. in fact they have done nothing when they won't do what works, which is put armed security, certified security in school, fix the mental health system and enforce the gun laws on the books against gun dealers, gangs and criminals and make america safe. lou: says to start enforcing those laws. failing to prosecute felons, criminals and in many cases the purchase of guns illegally over 15,000 of them. they have prosecuted exactly 44

of those cases in this country under this administration, this attorney general, and they have been successful in 13 prosecutions, chicago, los angeles and new york are the three worst. chicago the worst of all in failure to prosecute these crimes. >> the american public ought to hold up a vague sign everywhere president obama goes saying 90. if 90 jurisdictions in the country an enforcing the federal gun laws, chicago, despite the horrible crimes going on there every night it is 90 out of 90, dead last. you can't be the president or the vice president or the attorney general and have the responsibility of enforcing the federal gun laws and not bear some responsibility for what is going on in that city when you simply don't enforce the law against drug dealers, gangs and felons.

the case the president keeps talking about that poor girl killed in the inauguration, what he doesn't mention, the media doesn't report is that gang member was picked up on a gun charge, put out on probation, rearrested three times for break-ins and trespassing and left on the street and there was no federal prosecution at all. the media won't call the president out on it, they have no interest in it, and it is the only way we're going to make people safe. they come up with a lame excuse that they are prosecuting at the local level in chicago, everybody knows that is a joke, they are not. lou: we know better than whatever they're are doing is not working. we want to give credit, we got a report there was a decline of 42% in violence in chicago, so they can't explain it, i don't care what the answer is, congratulations to chicago for

that improvement and may it continue for the duration. we thank you for being with us, wayne lapierre. i wanted to talk to you more about your shield proposal. yours is the proposal on the table now before the congress, before god and the world to protect our children, and it is something the nra should be proud of the fact you and the leaders of the nra are the only people talking specifically of the program and details of how to better protect our children in public schools. wayne lapierre, thank you for being here. >> thank you, lou. lou: more on the hit of the second amendment. stay with us and we don't want to miss a moment. states and gun rights, not witht the national media is reporting. we will show you what states are really doing about guns in tonight's "chalk talk."

the market rallies as japan gets into the easy money came with a big play. a trillion dollars plus stimulus. michael holland with us next.

lou: american and japanese central bankers united in their aggressive monetary action and european bankers admit they are thinking of joining them as thought they were all along. michael holland here to tell us of that is good news for stocks, but before we turn tonight, a quick look at what happened on wall street today. news first-time jobless claims rose more than expected, but they adjusted. news japan's central bank has launched aggressive stimulus

picking up the mood on wall street as well, $1.4 trillion in the package out of the japanese. 3.2 billion shares traded on the big board. gold declining for a third day in a row, crude oil weaker as well, selling $92 per barrel, the bond market yield on the tenure dropping the lowest level of the year 1.76%. fear continues to be the motivating factor for investors. he with the search for other motivational moments. great to have you here. >> great to be here as always. lou: invigorating action on wall street, really heavy volu volume, obviously none of the above but an interesting day and a positive day. >> this aggressive move, this is

unprecedented. the japanese economy one third the size of the u.s. this is the largest of its program in history of work. for the viewers to translate that into what that means for me, lots of cash is going to go into the world economies more than anybody had expected before today, claims of dollars. he said he wants to raise the prices of stocks in properties. this is pretty straightforward. lou: it is not unlike what is happening in our central bank. this is a massive liquidity play by both central banks. the europeans are finding a way to it moving glacially slowly. will we just see a massive

injection in capital into the system? >> yes and yes. ben bernanke wants these other people to do what he has done successfully. a 40 year bull market, doing much better than a lot of people expected just a year ago or six months ago. what he set out to do without any help from anyone in washington, he has succeeded, people may not agree with what he has done, but he has done that. now he's being followed by people like japan. lou: europe is still an open question. he surprised many people, the head of the european central bank by rationalizing the policies and the actions they took. they didn't open the question, is it a template for future action whether it be portugal, spain, italy, whatever.

>> he continues, they continue to be a disappointment. they have done some things that have dramatically helped a year or two years ago. they said we will not let the stuff that happened or the contagion people worry about is gone. in terms of boosting the economy over there, they're not doing what japan has proposed to do, so your previous question if they will do it, they will do it eventually. they have to. lou: 12% across the euro zone, 25% unemployment in the southern european countries including spain. will we actually see a budget on mr. obama? he would like to see more aggressive lending for those who have less than stellar credit ratings. we have seen this move before.

what is wrong with these people? >> i have listened to you for years, think you have better answers than i do. the good answer for people watching, or potential investments is the market has such low of citations for anything intelligent coming out of washington is almost anything would be a very big surprise. we have jobless numbers tomorrow. lou: the last time i asked you, you hit the number. so tomorrow what is the number of jobs created, what is the unemployment rate? >> 171,000. lou: steady as she goes. that is where washington continues to do. as always, you have exceeded our

expectations not because of the level of expectations. thank you very much, appreciate it. the mainstream media pushing the gun control legislation and we show you how the mainstream media has hit in familiar territory. the fbi making a big discovery with the murder of a district attorney and his wife. next.

>> these ideas should not be controversial, they are common sense. supported by a majority of the american people. how often do 90% of americans agree on anything? it never happens. most gun owners agree, how often do 90% of americans agree on anything? lou: that is president obama pushing gun control.

i get nervous when i see joe biden smiling like he was there. he was pushing hard saying majority of us agree with his proposals. this one little part of the deal on the background checks, but the reality is much different from what the president is suggesting, of course. gun control advocates received another victory, the six state since the new township in passing a law restricting our second amendment rights. connecticut joining colorado, new york, mississippi, utah and wyoming passing eight laws restricting gun rights, strengthening gun restrictions. six states and those eight laws.

that is all the president wants to talk about, he flies each one, seems. he went to denver yesterday heading out to hartford, connecticut, monday all the publicist comes with the presidential office is a skier in what is really happening in the country. more states have actually used gun regulations that have strengthened them. in fact 10 states, 10 states have passed 17 loss at ease the restrictions on guns including arkansas, kentucky, maine, mississippi, south dakota, tennessee, michigan, montana, utah and virginia. for example, arkansas eliminating a ban on carrying firearms, south dakota is now on the school boards for our teachers and tennessee passed a law allowing workers to bring the guns to work and store them in their car.

i bet you did not hear about those lost in the national mainstream media. we may soon be able to add indiana to this list, lawmakers are deciding whether to make thursdathestate the first in tho require every school to have an armed employee. and indiana house committee yesterday advanced the proposal. we are sorry, mr. president. from the looks of it most states do not in fact agree with you. do not agree with you. and that is healthy for the country. connecticut stripping gun rights from its citizens. telling us why the law did not focus on the illegal part. the question cuts and obamacare, a deadly impact on cancer patients on medicare. that's shocking story next. texas law man laid to rest as

the lone star state searches for his killers. next. and i have diabetic nerve. i worked a patrol unit for 17 years in the city of baltimore. when i first started experiencing the pain, it's hard to describe because you have a numbness but yet you have the pain like thousands of needles sticking in your foot. it was progressively getting worse, and at that point, i knew i had to do something. when i went back to my health care professional, that's when she suggested the lyrica. once i started taking the lyrica, the pain started subsiding.

lou: a soldier assigned to kentucky fort knox is in custody tonight being questioned in connection to the shooting death of an army civilian employee. no word on a motive. they said the shooting was not a random act. the district attorney and wife immortalized to date, investigation into the murders goes on. fbi documents suggest the two groups are working together raising border security issues according to the governor of texas rick perry. dreaming now, criminal defense attorney, former prosecutor.

good to have you both here. now suggesting there is a working relationship between the brotherhood and at least one of the mexican drug cartels. i have not heard law-enforcement discussion of that e4. have you? >> now, have not. intelligence reports show there is a link with the italian mob, the brotherhood is not just something that is a message of the past, they are actually working with other criminal organizations. the fbi intelligence has just not discovered. lou: a former prosecutor, you have to be familiar with what is going on here. having covered the border security issue for mexican drug cartels, essentially, i have never heard they were with a

white supremacist group. one for spent has got to get to the core of this matter. kill police officers and the fact don't have that in our country as part of the fabric of our society that keeps us going. judicial system is the background of every civilization and if this thing is true in our law enforcement becomes a target rather, that is a serious problem and it must be addressed. lou: we also had in west virginia a sheriff shot and killed, murdered. in the place he parked his car most days. they think it is drug related, they don't know.

this is just a matter of days a critical national issue. >> it is very disturbing, lou. with west virginia it is an area played with prescription drug abuse. tons of documentaries have been done to talk about west virginia, ohio, kentucky, the link to broward county and the painkiller clinics. one of the issues that may exist is the person was being used by someone, and this sheriff was targeted but this seems to be a different situation. lou: go ahead. >> i used to be a broward county prosecutor, i practice criminal defense in broward county, she is absolutely correct. the pain till problem has been a crisis in my home jurisdiction has been the epicenter of that problem.

i heard from the father he spoke to some news reporters was his son had a serious mental health problem so i suggest maybe his competency, maybe schizophrenia or other serious mental problem might be the ultimate culprit cause whatever caused him to commit that horrible crime. >> he filed a lawsuit against an employer, so he had to be confident. >> crazy people abuse the judicial system all the time. if i had a nickel every time somebody with a questionable mental state called my office with some new wacky lawsuit, i would be a multimillionaire. it doesn't tell us anything. lou: we are going to zero in on why there is this broad assumption or this attempted assumption to be projected by the national media, the corruption only occurred on the

southern side of the border for tens of billions of dollars in drugs and money are smuggled back and forth across the border. all of the latest when "dodd law" continues.

lou: we are back with brian. this idea of corruption on the northern part of the border, $25 billion worth of drugs at least per year. nobody wants to talk about it. nobody wants to talk about the 25 early in dollars estimated

$25 billion back to the home country. this is big business. nobody is talking about it. mexican drug cartels. this is a border security issue. >> yes, it appears that would be. the question is what it's going to be done. do people not want to talk about it because they think it will have negative political repercussions on legislation being proposed? perhaps that is why the conversation isn't advancing as much. lou: most people can't tell you the name of the president of mexico because we haven't heard anything. it is the strangest. the whole issue of illegal immigration has gone quiet. there are no demonstrations the

government of mexico excesses in the public voice. bringing out a relationship between two criminal organizations have never heard before, and suddenly the head of corrections, an assistant district attorney dead, district attorney and his wife murdered in their home. something is happening here, and nobody has a handle on what, do they? >> i think the writing is on the wall and if i were sitting in washington, my radar would be blinking like crazy. you have pretty much an open border, a national security issue and now we have people challenging the things that hold us together as a society, and that goes the very fundamentals of who we are and what we are and i would really hope they take this seriously and solve the problem pragmatically.

lou: your thoughts on that issue? >> i hope it will be addressed by our representatives in washington, d.c. lou: it would be nice to see them address something successfully. what is happening in the prison system, just watch this video. you are looking inside a jail as criminals, this is the way they spend their time, at least some of them. these folks are smoking marijuana, they are ingesting heroin by various means, they even have guns. you're talking about challenging what this country is about. this is the kind of thing that suggests, don't, wanted to see

how the guys rolled up, but it obviously wasn't crops, they are living or to hype it are you concerned? you >> i am appalled. this is worse than third world, this is a jail, how do you have a loaded firearm in a jail cell? in this prison system there has got to be a systemic failure of leadership and they have to get to the core of that to find out who is responsible, who is not doing their job, who is not paying attention when you have inmates getting high and handling guns, it is unbelievable. all they need is a disco ball. >> i agree with the mayor of new orleans, definitely the federal government has to get involved in this. there needs to be somebody from the outside. taxpayer dollars are being wasted. lou: that is going on.

>> that is a problem, that is a really big problem. and also, personnel. many of the people hosting this jail have minor misdemeanors and are going back out onto the streets and that is a very big issue. lou: must be very clear, it is time for people to acknowledge that when we see this we're talking about rampant corruption. it is time to come to terms with it. >> how do you think the inmates get these things inside the jail? this is a secure facility. lou: thank you very much, we appreciate it. we want you to join the conversation. e-mail me, tweet me. cancer patients latest to feel

lou: the obama administration under increasing fire for how this handling the sequester cuts according to the "washington post" thousands of cancer patients are being denied treatment for cancer clinics all across the country because of sequester cuts to medicare. the administration blaming republicans for sequester but the clinics aren't buying that. they say the obama administration has chosen to oppose the cuts and expensive chemotherapy drugs instead of on the surface side they could

absorb the cuts or make do with fewer nurses and that coming from the cancer clinics themselves. more outrageous ways to taxpayer dollars, weekly standard senior vomiting this program rewarded more than $420,000 grant to indiana university to study the correct use of condoms. the research we are told has been completed. scientist have not released those long-awaited findings, but a government website confirms the study did not result in the creation of a single job. hundreds of fast food workers in new york walked off their jobs calling for higher wages and the power to organize a union. organizers say they want to double the wages from $7, $0.25 per hour to $15 per hour.

you may be shocked to learn the service employees international union that has more than 2 million members has been involved in that campaign to more than double the workers pay at fast food restaurants. up next, michael bloomberg trying to buy a new gun laws. the director of michael bloomberg's mayors against illegal guns will be here to talk about that and much more. stay with us. there are more people taking more medication, so we see people suffering from dry mouth more so. we may see more cavities, bad breath, oral irritation. a dry mouth sufferer doesn't have to suffer. i would recommend biotene. the enzymes in biotene products help supplement enzymes that are naturally in saliva. biotene helps moisten those areas that have become dry. those that are suffering can certainly benefit from biotene.

bloomberg, mark glaze runs it, we're delighted to have you joining us, tonight from denver. where the president was just there with his gun control campaign. >> i know you will never like me as much as you seem to like wayne lapierre. lou: i love you, really. i can't -- i can't let emotions stray me, so i hang on and tree our that constitutions. and second amendment. but congratulations, you won the battle in colorado. people in colorado through their representatives have spoken. i am pleased that the damage was not worse -- your thoughts. >> i appreciate that. i am happy to be in colorado in part because we have 13 mayors here who worked hard for this, and my dad lives here, i grew up

at 8,000 feet helping my dad sell guns, a federally licensed gun dealer. lou: talk birck ronnie. >about irony.y. >> who thinks everyone needs a background check. lou: but you got carried away, it goes beyond background checks, in connecticut deciding that another hundred guns are illegal now, going past mental illness. i got interrupted -- i must -- >> i'm sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt you, i want to clarify. lou: you have a minute left. >> you are right. that mental health is a problem in this country, across the world, we have to treat it better, but in united kingdom in go given year there are 45

gun-related murders here about 11,000 to 12,000, the difference is the way we handle gun laws, not they are less mentally ill than we are. lou: there are a lot of subsets of differences, but the fact is that we have a constitution that i like to see honored, if you like the magna carta go for it. that is an option. >> never been a fan of the magna carta. lou: how do you think it will unfold. >> i think that members are congress are having a hard fight, they are used to a world in which there is not much intensintensity on part of 90% f american people who think everyone should get a background check, i think newtown, and aurora and tucson have washed away the intensity gap. lou: and i think, that probably
